Not all crimes are equal, and every American has the right to liberty and
justice. While those who commit violent offenses are deserving of swift
and severe sentences, the current approach is not appropriate for many
nonviolent offenders, who often face steep punishments that do not fit
the crimes they have committed.
FreedomWorks believes that it is imperative to advance meaningful and
responsible justice reforms that will tear down big government policies,
ease burdens on taxpayers, and re-enforce everyones right to due
process under the law.
To better educate activists, FreedomWorks has released a statement of
principles for reforming the United States justice system.
